Can another agent help me as the one listed on the property I'm interested in will not respond? I've called and emailed the agent and no response.
Include any additional details about the question...

Janet - based on your questions/statements you may not know it but you definitely sound like a buyer who needs their own agent without question and it will not cost you any additional money - at least not if you were to work with me and probably most any other agent who has replied here. Here's why - if the property is listed with an agent already then most likely that agent is offering a portion of the commission to a buyers agent for helping to sell the property so it will not cost you any additional money to have your own agent representing you exclusively. I would recommend you select 3 of the agents who have responded to your post and conduct a phone interview with each of them. Simply do a google search for "how do I choose a buyer agent to help me purchase a home" and see what results come up. You can decide what questions you want to ask each agent you conduct your phone interview with but here are a couple suggestions - How many closings have you had in the last 12 months where you represented the buyer? An agent who answers 24 or more has the amount of experience you would want. What hours are you available to show my homes/are you a full time agent? You definitely want a full time agent whose availability matches your schedule. I could go on and on but you can probably handle it from here. I'd love a chance to discuss your situation to see if I can help you. In any case best of luck with your home search. BartMedlock.com

Yes. You may choose any Realtor. You are not bound to the listing agent or any agent unless you are under contract.
absolutely, please give me a call.
My Client-First Philosophy
There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional - integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how I work.
That said, in my experience as a Ft. Myers real estate professional, I've also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs.
This "client first" philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, I've found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything I've always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They've also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients.
So when you decide that you'd like to buy or sell a home in the Southwest Florida, Fort Myers, Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel, Captiva, Estero, Bonita Springs, Cape Coral, Pine Island, Matlacha, Lehigh Acres, Alva, North Fort Myers, Naples areas, please contact me.
Absolutely. Any KY Licensed Realtor can schedule a showing of the property for you. They can also search out any similar properties that you might consider. It would be smart to compare this home with others that have similar characteristics, you never know, you may find you a home you like better and for a better price.

It sounds as if you have had no contact with the agent and in that instance I could or any other agent you choose could help you with a number of homes including the one in question. Working with a buyers agent means that the buyers agent is working strictly for you where as a listing agents first priority is to get the most for the seller that he or she can. You lose part of your bargaining power when working with the listing agent as they then become a dual agent trying to juggle both the buyer and the seller. Hope this helps and I look forward to hearing from you.
Janet- The best thing for a buyer to do is to find a agent they like and feel comfortable working with. Because of the Multiple Listing Service it allows agents besides the listing agent to get information about the listing and show it. Plus this way if it is not the house for you - you have a relationship with a agent who can help find you your perfect house
if you can help another agent, also can call the office of the Agent and speak to the manager

Janet,
I'm sorry you are having such a hard time with that agent. Thankfully agents who don't respond are the exception and not the rule.
I agree with Bart; in fact, I don't think I could have said it better myself. There are benefits to having an agent represent you exclusively. The sellers agent has a legal contract to act in the best interest of their client. A buyers agent will make sure your best interest are represented. The buyers agent will walk you through the entire home-buying process from financing, to finding a home, to negotiating, to the closing, and everything in-between.
I hope this helps. If there's anything I can do or questions I can answer feel free to contact me. Good luck!

I'm not using a realtor, I'm purchasing this myself, so do I have to have a realtor to see/purchase it?
Indeed, Ms. Mercker, as others have suggested, you can work with any actively licensed real estate professional you choose, and your selected agent ought to readily be able to (a) provide you with detailed information about the property of interest to you and (b) get you in to see it posthaste. [Shame on the listing agent, by the way, for not responding timely to your inquiries.] Friends and family often are a good source of recommendations for prospective Realtors.
